RSF<

What kind of wood did you use on the handles? Am I correct in thinking that the Damascus blade is folded/pattern-welded as opposed to Bulat/Damascus steel?

on the one with the lanyard it´s buckeye burl,
on the other damascus blade it´s eucalyptus burl.

on the 3rd knife i´m not sure what the wood is, found it att a dealer during a show.

it´s normal everyday patternwelded damascus

Roger,

I am quite impressed by the Buckeye burl. I think the material would also make nice grips for a 45 ACP or some other pistol. I always though Eucalyptus was kind of pulpy and wouldn't be suitable for such applications.

Do you do any work for others? I attempted to go to your web page but it was unavailable at the time. I have considered a knife but if you could make grips that would be great as well.

Thanks for the pictures,
Eric
